Hello John and Doves,
We have a common theme of three faiths
going on now - Christianity, Judaism and Islam - all
expecting the soon arrival of their 'messiahs'.
Three Abrahamic religions.
And the U.S./Israel - Iran war
involves these three religions. Christianity/Judaism
on one side and Islam on the other. Maybe all three
have believers praying for the swift arrival of their
messiah as this war continues to escalate.
Many Christians are wondering about
this US/Israel-Iran war - will this be a precursor or
start to the Gog and Magog War of Ezekiel 38? Many
believe, 'as the bombs come down, we go up' - a reference
to the Rapture.
The Jews believe that their Messiah
will come during the first month of the year -
Nisan. That this is the month of redemption.
As they were redeemed from Egypt in Nisan, they will be
redeemed in the end in Nisan. Nisan started Friday,
March 20.
The eradication of Israel is
increasingly being seen by Twelvers in Iran - Mahdists -
as a 'necessary step' for their 12th Imam to return - and
setup a global caliphate. Once the obstacle, called
Israel, is removed, the Mahdi can return.
Shia and Sunni Muslims believe their
messiah, Mahdi - the 12th Imam - will appear before
Judgment Day to set up a global caliphate of peace.
His coming will be proceeded by major signs - one of which
is the 'rise of the Dajjal' or antichrist. Who Shia
believe is Donald Trump. The Mahdi will rule with
justice and divine principles. And for Shia,
the Mahdi will appear when there is a violent apocalypse
going on. And Iran's new leader is being called
'apocalypse-obsessed'!
Christianity:
We know the Believers in Christ have
Watchers on the Wall that are getting pretty hyped up at
this time - the Iran war, the Biblical timeline, 'this
generation', signs in the Heavens, etc...all pointing to
the VERY soon return of Jesus. We are now in the
Jewish month of Nisan - the first month of the religious
year.
March/April contain several important days to
Christianity: March 29 Jesus' "Triumphal Entry" -
(10th of Nisan), April 3 Good Friday, April 5 Easter
(Western).
Judaism:
The month of Nisan is considered by the
Jewish people the month of Redemption. "In Nisan in
the future the Jewish people will be redeemed in the final
redemption."
Rosh
Hashanah: 11a - Talmud
The month of Nisan contains several
important days to Judaism: Passover, Feast of
Unleavened Bread, Feast of Firstfruits. Passover
Week/Week of Unleavened Bread is 7
days. Beginning of the Counting of the
Omer.
Islam:
And
in this recent article in Israel365news dated March 10,
2026: "...the focus of America's war on Iran is the
arrival of the Mahdi, Islam's awaited messianic figure,
whose reappearance, they believe, will be preceded by the
emergence of the Dajjal - Islam's version of the
Antichrist." And the name they attach to the Dajjal
is Donald Trump." "is confrontation with Iran
represents the Dajjal's assault on the forces of the
Mahdi."
"We're
fighting an evil that the world doesn't truly comprehend
in its belief that is has a divine mandate to usher in a
day of apocalypse."
The
end of the fast of Ramadan will be celebrated by Gulf Arab
states on Friday, March 20, 2026. So, Eid al Fitr -
the "Breaking of the Fast" is on March 20.
Conclusion:
Three
major religions involved in a conflict in the Middle
East that could become WW3. Will this precipitate
the Gog and Magog War? Will this precipitate the
destruction of Mystery Babylon?
The
Messiah is Jesus/Yeshua, Son of God. He will return
for Believers in the Rapture. Then return in 'the
Second Coming' in the clouds with His armies.
Watchers/Believers
are anxiously awaiting His return. Some are looking
at specific dates, others - a specific season. Most
believe the Rapture is soon!
Pray
for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
